Author Rupert Chan gave a splendid talk on Animals in Literature with special reference to his own book, launched at the event, "Chocolate's Brown Study in the Bag". The text was transferred to him by brain-waves by his toy poodle, Chocolate (well, so he says)! This was an independent event noticed by the Hong Kong International Literary Festival.

Many of the photos were taken by Mr Errol Hugh, Hong Kong architect and author of, "A Personal Journey through Sketching: the Sketcher's Art" (Proverse 2009).

The results of the Proverse Prize, 2010 were announced at this event. The books that jointly-won the Prize and other books awarded publication prizes began to be published, beginning from November 2011.
